Inventory and tickets are all manually printed. By adding a computer to the store, inventory and sales could be more easily monitored. The computer would also serve as a ticket printer and finance station. .
Scope.
The addition of a computerized register would make the flow of goods in and out of the Style Shop easier. By adding a computer to the store each Merchandising Society member would have to be trained on how to properly ring up a sale. Buyers would have to be trained to receive their merchandise and print tickets. The finance team would have to learn how to print sales reports and track inventory. Security would also have to be increased in the store. Finally, a printer would have to be purchased to work with the computer.
